Pros

Wawa is a very flexible company and offers a lot of benefits to its associates in terms of bonuses, flexible schedules (both for store and corporate employees), and the benefit of a well-known and easily recognizable brand. Wawa is very active in the community and makes a lot of resources available for community assistance. In many ways, it's a great place to work.

Cons

It's hard to get ahead at Wawa, especially on the corporate side. Not a lot of opportunities for advancement. Much of the mid to upper management has been there forever, with no changes in sight. A lot of promotions are based more on politics than on what you've accomplished.

Pros

Compensation is better than at a lot of other places.

Cons

Compensation still isn't fair for the crazy workload. Not all Wawas are created equally - one store might be great and the other might be crap, and they all get the same treatment/policies. They give you the hours they want to give you, and assign you the shifts they want to assign you. They talk a lot about "promotion from within" but very little of this actually gets done. Too many managers - five or more per store, none of whom have the same policies or agree on the same things. You're left to gather your own information and knowledge from sporadic sources. No real complaint system without fear of retaliation. No praise or thanks, only criticism. You never know where you stand - managers always act like you can be fired at any moment. It's definitely a "who-you-know" place - some associates get away with things I couldn't even dare to think of.
